What to do if there are small bumps on the male genitals?

In our current life rhythm, the pace is getting faster and faster. We are all working hard to achieve our life goals. However, in the pursuit of life, we forget the most important thing, which is our health. Today, I would like to share with male friends how to solve the problem of small bumps on the genitals.

1. Sebaceous gland dysplasia, no treatment required

2. Folliculitis

3. Long-term accumulation of smegma and hardening of stones

It is recommended to frequently retract the foreskin to clean the glans, maintain good personal hygiene, and undergo a circumcision if conditions permit.

It could be balanitis.

It may also be pearly penile papules.

Small reddish papules appear around the glans penis in the coronal sulcus.

It often occurs in young people and adults, and is more common in people aged 20-40. 10% of normal people will have it, and it is more common in young people with long foreskin and masturbation habits. It is a physiological abnormality and not a sexually transmitted disease. It may be related to long foreskin, more smegma, and chronic inflammatory stimulation.

Generally, there are no symptoms and the warts are often found suddenly after bathing or unclean sexual intercourse. They are easily misdiagnosed as genital warts.

The histopathological findings are the same as those of vulvar pseudowarts, with papillary protrusions in appearance, mild hypertrophy of the mucosal epithelium, and vacuolar appearance similar to normal mucosa in the middle and upper parts of the epithelium. The vacuoles are uniform in size and shape, with no dark staining and condensation of cell nuclei. The mucosal epithelium is wrapped in loose connective tissue, and the capillaries in the connective tissue proliferate and dilate, with a few lymphocytes infiltrating.

Polymerase chain reaction tests for human papillomavirus were all negative, so it is not a sexually transmitted disease. It can be distinguished from genital warts from clinical, histopathological and human papillomavirus tests, and the diagnosis is not difficult.

In terms of treatment, if the patient has foreskin that is too long, circumcision should be performed to avoid smegma irritation. The skin lesions of penile pearly papules themselves do not need to be treated.

The small bumps on the frenulum also fall into this category and are not a problem.

Almost 80% of men have it.

I wonder if you have learned from the above series of scientific and detailed explanations that we should take measures if we have small bumps on our genitals in the future. Finally, I hope that after this understanding, male friends can pay more attention to their health issues.
